We have Nietzsche to thank for some of the most important accomplishments in intellectual history, but as Gary Shapiro shows in this unique look at Nietzscheâs thought, the nineteenth-century philosopher actually anticipated some of the most pressing questions of our own era. Putting Nietzsche into conversation with contemporary philosophers such as Deleuze, Agamben, Foucault, Derrida, and others, Shapiro links Nietzscheâs powerful ideas to topics that are very much on the contemporary agenda: globalization, the nature of the livable earth, and the geopolitical categories that characterize people and places. Shapiro explores Nietzscheâs rejection of historical inevitability and its idea of the end of history. He highlights Nietzscheâs prescient vision of todayâs massive human mobility and his criticism of the nation stateâs desperate efforts to sustain its exclusive rule by declaring emergencies and states of exception. Shapiro then explores Nietzscheâs vision of a transformed garden earth and the ways it sketches an aesthetic of the Anthropocene. He concludes with an explanation of the deep political structure of Nietzscheâs âphilosophy of the Antichrist,â by relating it to traditional political theology. By triangulating Nietzsche between his time and ours, between Bismarckâs Germany and post-9/11 America, Nietzscheâs Earth invites readers to rethink not just the philosopher himself but the very direction of human history.
